Rules and numbers

confirmed Gather skills (fish, mine, forage, invoke, farm, plunder, bard, vigor) get double gather; process skills (cook, smith, craft, imbue, brew, barter) get material save; other skills get neither.
Source: ClientState.js:2858-2863; Constants.js:1270
confirmed A failed action gives no task progress; a gather action yields success x (1 + double chance) progress on average.progressPerAction = success * (1 + doubleChance) [gather]; = success [process]
Source: ClientState.js:2482-2496
confirmed On process tasks the material-save proc only keeps the input; it adds no extra progress.
Source: ClientState.js:2475-2478
confirmed A Lucky task forces success and resolves two actions per cooldown without shortening the timer.
Source: Constants.js:119-120; ClientState.js:2486-2491
confirmed Success, speed, double and save all scale off one per-skill pool of action sources: capes/pets, tools, Fortress milestones, beacons, Collector and talents.
Source: ClientState.js:2533-2540
dev note A fully decked skill has a 42-source base (8 capes/pets + 20 tools incl. lanterns + 14 Fortress milestones), 49 with one full beacon family.
Source: Constants.js:4691-4694
